Do you have anything else to say?\" Leng Tianlu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wen replied, \"I have nothing to say, but may I use a communication jade slip to inform a friend?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Tianlu scoffed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What? Want to find someone to plead for you? I advise you not to waste your effort; it won't help no matter who you call. The prohibition against cultivating demonic techniques is a rule set by our founding ancestor. No one in the sect is allowed to violate it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Tianlu looked like an iron-faced judge, with a fair and stern demeanor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wen took out the communication jade slip for Rong Jingyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He conveyed the signs of corpse energy and life energy merging from the human-snake hybrids, as well as the news of the hybrids being robbed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Take Wu Sheng back to the Law Enforcement Hall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two late-stage Qi Refining cultivators approached Song Wen, one on each side, preparing to capture him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need; I can walk myself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wen's face was filled with pain, as if he was enduring tremendous physical suffering, struggling to stand up from the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Tianlu glanced at Song Wen coldly and said, \"Move!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon reaching the cave's entrance, Song Wen found that he could no longer fly using his sword. He crushed a flying talisman and followed Leng Tianlu slowly toward the Law Enforcement Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, Song Wen was taken deep into the Law Enforcement Hall and locked in a large cell for prisoners. He was also bound with a chain by Leng Tianlu, making it difficult to move.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wu Sheng, I just retrieved your file. You were originally a loose cultivator who joined the Beastmaster Sect four years ago. The corpse-raising secret technique you are cultivating must have been acquired before you joined the sect, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell me! Why did you go to such lengths to join the sect? Are you a spy sent by the demonic sect?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Tianlu's expression was cold as he interrogated fiercely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Song Wen was bound, he showed no sign of fear and appeared unconcerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Leng, regarding the corpse-raising secret techniques, you have no authority to question it in your position. I am curious to know who reported me for privately refining and selling corpses.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Song Wen, facing death, still dared to look down on him, Leng Tianlu became furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wu Sheng, you are forcing me to resort to torture.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He raised his hand, and dozens of cold, glimmering instruments of torture appeared before him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among them, Leng Tianlu pulled out a curved blade about a foot long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This knife is called the Soul-Cleaving Blade, the most precious one among these instruments. It is a top-quality spiritual weapon, containing a strand of Soul-Eating True Fire. This fire has the ability to harm the soul.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"One slash, and the pain to the flesh is secondary; the most despairing part is that the Soul- Eating True Fire will penetrate into the soul, burning it and causing unbearable suffering.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, Leng Tianlu stabbed the Soul-Cleaving Blade into Song Wen's shoulder blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wen's face contorted in agony, veins bulging on his forehead like squirming earthworms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wen gritted his teeth, letting out a low, suppressed roar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The burning sensation in his soul caused him immense pain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet, it was still within his tolerance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had undergone soul cleaving multiple times to create death substitutes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His endurance for soul pain was much higher than that of ordinary people.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It seems you can endure quite well; you can withstand the pain of the spiritual fire burning your soul. Those Foundation Establishment cultivators who were injured by the Soul- Cleaving Blade in the past were in unbearable pain, crying out for mercy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Tianlu pulled out the Soul-Cleaving Blade, a bloodthirsty smile appearing on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He lightly ran his fingers along the blade, collecting the crimson blood and bringing it to his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Tianlu licked the blood from his fingers, his expression becoming somewhat twisted and frenzied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I like hard-headed people like you; it lets me torture you a little longer...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Leng Tianlu could finish his sentence, his expression suddenly changed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt a strong stabbing pain on his tongue, as if countless steel needles were piercing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How could your blood be so toxic?!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Pah! Pah! Pah...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Tianlu spat several times, trying to expel the remaining toxic blood from his mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, he hurriedly circulated his spiritual power to push the toxins out of his\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The amount of poison he had swallowed wasn't much; after all, he was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, and this level of toxin couldn't harm him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before long, he expelled the toxins, but his tongue still felt like it was on fire, burning\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>painfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Tianlu's face darkened, and he gripped the knife, preparing to stab the Soul-Cleaving\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blade into Song Wen once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You will regret this,\" Song Wen said coldly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmph, a prisoner beneath my feet dares to threaten me,\" Leng Tianlu mocked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he once again thrust the Soul-Cleaving Blade toward Song Wen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Stop!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a loud shout rang out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Jingyun appeared in the prison cell.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was followed by Zhou Siyi and two Foundation Establishment cultivators from the Law\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enforcement Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing the shout, Leng Tianlu turned to Rong Jingyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder Rong, as an elder of the Alchemy Peak, why have you forcibly invaded my Law\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Enforcement Hall's prison?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Jingyun glanced at Song Wen, confirming that he was unharmed, before replying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wu Sheng is an elder of my Alchemy Peak. You in the Law Enforcement Hall must have a reason for arresting him, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Tianlu retorted, \"Hmph! Do we in the Law Enforcement Hall need to report to you, Rong\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jingyun?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he cast a stern look at the two cultivators from the Law Enforcement Hall beside\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rong Jingyun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you doing? Why did you allow outsiders to enter the prison?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faced with Leng Tianlu's questioning, the two Law Enforcement Hall cultivators shrank back\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>a bit, and one of them said, \"Elder Leng, Elder Rong has a summons jade slip. She is an elder of the Hall, and we didn't dare to stop her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The elder of the Hall held a high position in the Beastmaster Sect, second only to the Golden Core stronghold. Apart from some forbidden areas of the sect, the elder of the Hall could\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>enter and exit freely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"An elder of the Hall!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Tianlu looked at Rong Jingyun with a hint of trepidation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Even if you are an elder of the Hall, you have no authority to interfere in the matters of the\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Law Enforcement Hall.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He pointed at Song Wen and continued, \"Moreover, this person is a spy of the demonic path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if I were to execute him on the spot, you have no right to question it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Rong Jingyun's gaze toward Song Wen turned somewhat doubtful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Song Wen's display of corpse-raising talent indeed seemed a bit unfathomable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Does the Law Enforcement Hall have evidence of Wu Sheng colluding with the demonic\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>path?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This thought flashed through Rong Jingyun's mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Standing behind Rong Jingyun, Zhou Siyi didn't think as deeply as she did. After hearing Leng\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tianlu's words, she felt indignant and retorted loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is a crime of false accusation! What evidence do you have to prove that Brother Wu is a\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>demonic spy?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leng Tianlu laughed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Evidence?
